Abstract
A container opener which takes the form of an integral member which has a main straight body section. At one end of the main body section is attached the first extension which depends from the main body section at almost a right angle. The outermost end of the first extension is acutely arcuate so that it substantially bends over on itself with the outermost tip of the extension defining an angle of sixty degrees with respect to the plane of the main body section. A second extension is attached to the main body section and is to be generally curved and ending in a depending flange which is to be connectable with the locking tab type of pail lid.
